The Luminaire is a 275 capacity music venue in Kilburn, North London.

    I went there for the first time the other day with really high expectations having heard so many good things. I really liked it, good sound, very friendly staff, love the pit next to the stage that makes it easier to get a good view of the band from further back and a passionate crowd there for the music. Will definitely be coming back.

    One of my favourite London venues. Not only is it the only decent venue in NW London (my neck of the woods), but it's hosted some of the best shows I've ever been to. Lovely staff, good ethos, usually great audiences, awesome place.

    This is such a great venue! Perfect size and great sound.

    The only downside is that is oh so far away from me :)

    Adore this venue. The focus is on the music and the audience are encouraged to hush and be quiet while bands are playing. It's pretty easy to get to, not far from the station. There's a Nandos about a minute away. Bonus.

    The lighting is good and it's lovely when they get the discoball spinning. The sound is good and they get some great bands playing. I'm always happy to see when a band I like is playing there.
